Installation and Operator Instructions Read this entire section before installation or operation of the machine. General Description The ARC TRACKER is a high-performance, portable product designed to accurately measure the True Energy delivered into a weld from any welding machine (DC process only). The ARC TRACKER will accurately measure the welding parameters (arc voltage, arc current, and weld time) and provide a real-time calculation of the True Energy into the weld. While welding, the True Energy [in joules (J)] for the weld will be accurately displayed on the user interface. The ARC TRACKER utilizes high-intensity LEDs and alpha-numeric displays that can easily be seen from a distance. The design uses advanced digital controls to sample the welding parameters at a very high rate of speed. The ARC TRACKER is compatible with any DC welding process. The ARC TRACKER has an Ethernet connector to easily connect the product into a local network which enables the use of Lincoln s additional software tools. Select Suitable Location UNIT IS IP23 RATED. The ARC TRACKER will operate in harsh environments.even so, it is important that simple preventative measures are followed in order to assure long life and reliable operation. Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do not place on wet ground or in puddles. Tilting Place the ARC TRACKER on a secure, level surface. The weight of the welding cables hanging from the connection terminals may cause the ARC TRACKER to topple. Secure the welding cables to an appropriate structure to reduce the hanging weight to stabilize the ARC TRACKER. Stacking The ARC TRACKER cannot be stacked. Grounding and Input Connections MACHINE GROUNDING The frame of the ARC TRACKER must be grounded. By using the power cord shipped with the unit, or by using a cord per the specifications described here, the unit will be properly grounded if connected to a grounded receptacle. See your local and national electrical codes for proper receptacle grounding methods. Input Connections Installation should be made in accordance with the appropriate National Electrical Code, all local codes and the information in this manual. The ARC TRACKER can be connected to 120 VAC or 230 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. The power supply inside the unit can accept any single phase input voltage from 120 VAC to 230 VAC. The unit is shipped from the factory with a 6ft. (2m) detachable input cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug and an IEC plug receptacle. For the European market, it is suggested that an input cord with a CEE 7/7 plug and IEC plug receptacle be used. For all other regions, a cord should be used with a plug which provides between 120 VAC and 230 VAC, 50 or 60Hz, and has the IEC plug receptacle. Cord must provide proper ground per national electrical codes. 230V Input To change from 120 V to 230 V single phase input, the NEMA 5-15P plug can be replaced by any NEMA 250 V type plug (for example type 6-30P). Attachment Plug In all cases, the green or green/yellow grounding wire must be connected to the grounding pin of the plug, usually identified by a green screw. All attachment plugs must comply with the Standard for Attachment Plugs and Receptacles, UL498. The product is considered acceptable for use only when an attachment plug as specified is properly attached to the supply cord. The ARC TRACKER will auto reconnect to either 120 V or 230 V supplies. 7

8 High Frequency Protection The EMC classification of the ARC TRACKER is Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) group 2, class A. The ARC TRACKER is for industrial use only. (See Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC Safety Section). Harmonic Current Information: Design complies with EN , -3. Locate the ARC TRACKER away from radio controlled machinery. The normal operation of the ARC TRACKER may adversely affect the operation of RF controlled equipment, which may result in bodily injury or damage to the equipment. Recommended Electrode and Work Cable Sizes for Arc Welding General Guidelines The following recommendations apply to all output polarities and weld modes: Select the appropriate size cables per the "Output Cable Guidelines" Table 1. Excessive voltage drops caused by undersized welding cables and poor connections often result in unsatisfactory welding performance. Always use the largest welding cables (electrode and work) that are practical, and be sure all connections are clean and tight. Note: Excessive heat in the weld circuit indicates undersized cables and/or bad connections. Route all cables directly to the work and electrode, avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable. Route the electrode and work cables in close proximity to one another to minimize the loop area and therefore the inductance of the weld circuit. Always weld in a direction away from the work connection. Electrode Connections Electrode Positive (See Figure 1 "Connection Diagramelectrode positive") Connect cable(s) of sufficient size and length (Per Table1) to the "ELECTRODE" terminals on the power source. Connect the other end of the electrode cable(s) to the contact tip, wire feeder, etc. Be sure the connection makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact. Work Connections Electrode Positive (See Figure A.1) Connect cable(s) of sufficient size and length (Per Table1) between the "WORK" terminals on the power source and the ARC TRACKER right side weld terminals (when viewed from the rear). Connect cable(s) of sufficient size and length from the ARC TRACKER left weld terminals to the work. Be sure the connection to the work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact. Remote Sense Lead Specifications (See Figure 1 "Connection Diagram-electrode positive") In order to get an accurate measurement of the true energy going in to the weld, it is critical to get an accurate measurement of the arc voltage. The arc voltage sense leads are polarity specific RED must be connected to the positive side of the arc and BLACK to the negative. The sense leads should be connected as 8 close as possible to the arc, e.g. at the contact tip, wire feeder, etc and to the work. Product Specific Instructions Best Practices: Place the ARC TRACKER in the work circuit. This will keep the ARC TRACKER at the same potential as the work piece. The welding current MUST flow into the left side weld terminals (when viewing the ARC TRACKER from the rear) and out of the right side weld terminals. If the welding current does not flow through the ARC TRACKER in the right direction, the unit will not properly sense the welding current and nothing will be displayed on the unit during welding. See the specific power source instruction manual for additional general guidelines on output cable connections. Software Tools ARC TRACKER software tools and other documents related to the integration, configuration, and operation of the system are available at, An Ethernet connection gives the ARC TRACKER the ability to run Power Wave Manager and Production Monitoring.

11 Maintenance WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Test Setup: Connect equipment as shown in Figure D.1. Only qualified personnel should perform this maintenance. Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch or fuse box before working on this equipment. Do not touch electrically hot parts. See additional warning information throughout this Operator's Manual Calibration Specification The ARC TRACKER as shipped from the factory has +/-2% accuracy on the digital volts display and amps display. Due to the heat input calculation being a function of measured volts, amps, and arc on-time, the displayed energy value has an accuracy of +/-5%. The Lincoln Electric Company recommends that endusers of its welding equipment evaluate the suitability of utilizing the ARC TRACKER in their quality system. Determine if periodic calibration is required and the calibration interval based upon the criticality of the welding application, the environment in which the equipment is located, the level of preventive maintenance and the actual conditions of use. Required equipment: Power source to provide welding current and voltage.the power source should be capable of producing the same level of welding current and voltage as the ARC TRACKER application. It is recommended to use the same power source used in the welding application for this calibration procedure. Calibrated reference volt meter, shunt and ammeter as in Figure D.1. The recommended accuracy must be at least four times the desired accuracy of the digital meters on the ARC TRACKER being calibrated. Example, to obtain +/-2% accuracy, the shunt accuracy and ammeter accuracy combination must be +/-0.5% accurate. The meters listed below have been verified to produce accurate results with inverter power sources. If other meters are used, the compatibility and accuracy with inverter power sources must be determined by the user.

Calibration Procedure Allow a 5 minute warm-up period for all instruments and power source before applying a load. Prior to performing the Calibration Procedure, the accuracy of the ARC TRACKER digital meters should be determined. In Table D.1 Measurement Results suggested nominal set points are listed. The power source and resistive load should be set approximately to these voltage and current set points, e.g A, A, etc. The reference meter readings should be compared to the ARC TRACKER digital meters. The reference meter readings should be entered into Table D.1 in the reference meter value column. The ARC TRACKER meter readings should be entered into Table 1 in the ARC TRACKER as found column. The % deviation can be determined by calculation using the reference meter values and the as found values (see % Dev Equations). The - limits and + limits can be determined by multiplying the reference meter values by the desired accuracy of the ARC TRACKER meters (for example, +2% limit = 1.02 x reference meter value). If the ARC TRACKER digital meters are within the desired limits, calibration adjustments are not necessary. As left and % deviation values should be entered into Table D.1. If calibration is required, then continue with the Adjustment Procedure. 11
